A SUDDEN DEATH Frank Hackman Well Known Decatur Citizen 11l But a Few Minutes NEURALGIA OF HEART Causes His Death at 12:30 This Morning—Had Been . in Poor Health Frank Hackman a well known citi zen died very suddenly at 12:30 o’clock this morning at his home on South Line street from neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Hackman retired early in the evening feeling quite well and slept peacefully until about 12:15 when he awakened with a severe pain in his chest which seemed to shut off his breathing. He immediately called to his wife who was sitting up with their sick niece. Miss Bertha Hackman who is seriously ill with typhoid fever and not expected to live and she relieved his suffering somewhat by applying liniment on his chest. The relief was. enly for a few minutes and the terrible pains came back much more severe than the first attack. Mr. Hackman then stepped outside in the effort to get some fresh air coming back into the house a few seconds later suffering more than before and lay on the bed. He took a few deep breaths, groaned and moaned a few minutes and passed into the next world before any assistance could be given him. Francis Henry Hackman was born in Mauch Chunk, Pa., on the 24th day of July 1856 and came to Decatur when about three years old with his mother. He lived here during his entire life and was numbered among the early settler? of Decatur. He was 58 years and 20 days old. In Oct. 1883 he married Miss Anna Mary Pylo and to this happy union were born four children one of whom died wnen anly 6 yean old. His occupation was that of p. painter and paper hanger but owing to his failing health in the last few years he was not permitted to do much work. The deceased is survived by a wife and three daughters, they being Mrs A. C. Berger of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Geo Tester of this city and Mrs. Will Bog ner of Branch. Mich. Clara the fourth daughter is dead. A brother Henry Hackman of Toledo also survives. , The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from the Hackman home on Line street. meouriouT TO THE KIDNEYS Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat forms uric acid. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.
